But afier the daily the Congressional Library the typographical document is accorded no more prominent berth among the files than its 200 fellow dailies, and, with few exceptions, the great crypt at the Capitol is the home of them all. A GREAT COLLECTION OF NEWSPAPERS, ‘Thé average visitor to the big white pile has no desire to examine the archkjtecture of the basement, for the guides are very apt to try earning their feos ax quickly as possible and announcing that only committee rooms are the card of attraction in that particular locality. ‘The Goddess of Liberty on top of the dome hasn't a word to say, of course, so the sight- seer is never informed that far down in the man Bianco,” as it is called.

In this gay capital it is customary for all the “first families” to have nigi:ts set apart for the Is reception of their frieuds generally, diseard- | sloom beneath the rotunda there is # erypt,and ing the necessity of special invitations, ‘These | t€teabouts is the largest and most valuable cole ee Se secon Of tect sgl rspapers in the world.

Speaker” and ‘The Senator from Kansas has the floor” never penetrate. Nevertheless it is the place where many a fine piece of rhetoric dispiayed on the floor of the Senate or House finds its figurative oratorical ammunition, and since 1874 that collection of newspapers has been a veritable magazine for the legisiators above stairs, SUBSCRIPTIONS To NEWSPAPERS. Eighteen years ago Congress passed a bill authorizing an anatal appropriation to be ex- pended in annual subscription for two daily newspapers published in exch state, and with opposite political faith. Previous to that time an immerse collection of newspaper files had edat the State Department, until office space was ata premium and the Con- | gressional Library received only comparatively | Tew dailies and weeklies asa literary addition | to Mr. Spofford’s sanctum. The new wrinkle, however, brought abou: a desirable change. The valuabie files at the State Department were sent to the Congressional Library, bound and put into presentable shape for future reference. | ‘Those already in the librarian’s possession and | tons in an adobe casa in far-off Venezuela | te be generally addressed in their own language, | whether English, French, German or Italian, and t ions from the best opersi rendered in the fanitiess style of professional | The vouthfal aristocracy of Carucas have @ club called El Cireulo de Amigos, *‘the circle of friends,” which gives excellent dances at tervals, to which all the beauty. wealth and fashion of the vicinage are bidden; and it is easy for a foreigner to get an mvitaticn to one of these charming entertainments through the | consul from his country.

ANOTHER OLD TOXER. The Alexandria Gazette is another old timer that forms one of Capt. Van Ness’ treasares, but the files are farfrom comple, although some of the copies date back to the earliest years of the centurr. One issue contains what is per- haps the first real hostile item printed justprior and during the civil war. When Federal troops fore, sent across Virginia’ to occupy old Fort ington before actual hostilities began a promi- nent Alexandrian became wroth and telegraphed the governor of the state that such am indignit; to state sovereignty should not. be tolerated. He wanted the executive to declare war at once. The Gazelle printed the dispatch with some comments thereon next day, and the re- porter who wrote the item has since grown gray in journalistic harness with a broader newspaper field before him as member of the Baltimore Sun's Washington staff. And that brings the crypt visitor to a glance at the eighty or more volumes which contain the Sun's publications and look like a graduated seale or series of steps from 1887 to 1893. The first copy and its successors for two years could only claim. to dimensions of about twelve by ten inches, but they were as full of what now seem newspaper peculiarities as an egg is of the proverbial meat. Every article bore the legendary ownership sign, “Reported for the Sun” —something like an inherent copyright. Bata roaring fight between two Irish widows at the city court constituted the latger part of the initial number's news, and if any con- temporary was “scooped” on that especial item it isn't probable the squib was copied word for word. A press association news service and twenty times the original size of its editorial staff has brought the Sun upto its nt standard, but the daily editions of 1893 are almost typographical counterparts of their pre- decessors. THE MOST VALUABLE SET OF VOLUMES From a purely antique standpoint the most interesting as well as the mostvaluable set of vol- umes in the collection is made up of every issue of the London Gazette from 1665 to date. Let the historical fiend brash up his reminiscences of important events in England since the sev- enteenth century, and these old files will sapply English, and latierly, American history with all that aliterary hiatus omite. The only trouble would be that a student would need at least three years’ close application to look them over, and Congress mizht have to appropriate for an extra library assistant or two to supply the reader with the ponderous materia:. Com- plete editions of the London Times since 1795 are on hand, though, to lessen the strain, and the Vaterland is represented by the Allgemeine Zeitung, while the tricolor nation furnishes the Moniteur, afterward changed in title to the Journal Oficial. All these forcign papers came to the library originally from the State Department and through n system of exchanges with similar literary caravansaries on both sides of the At- lantic. The London Gazette files are next to priceless, of course, through their 225 years of covered time. Quite a handsome sum ‘was in- vested in securing these English publications, but the biggest lump sum went out of the treasury to South Carolina, The figure was $5,000, and an act of Congress appropriated it to purchase the files of the Charleston Courier, It wasn't for the trinsic value of the issues on the open mar- ket as curios, but war claims for damages were coming to hand against the government at « very lively rate in the early eeventies and the famous “war claims commission” was then in session. Somebody suggested that the com- mission would be at the mercy of the claimants unless many of the latter could be proved as having been disloyal during the war and Uncle Sam would have been mulcted for millions of dollark, The Courier's files, it was ex- pected, would show many of the alleged creditors as genuine secessionists, when they suffered the damages claimed, and’ so the purchase was made, How much of a part those papers played before the commission is largely guesswork now, but the records show that only 6 per cent of the total asked from the govern- ment was allowed and finaliy paid, ASTOR AS A FUR DEALER. An old copy of the New York Daily Adver- tiser contains the advertisement of John Jacob Astor ag a dealer in furs,a round number of years before his millions were as large as they became when his family inherited them some 5 time ago. The Various volumes of the defunct Savannah Kepublican from 1303 to 1872 sre brimful of southern | news of the day, especially during the latter part of the war, when brown wrapping paper was used to feed the presses. The other speci mens of journalism from the cotton sta while confederate fortunes began to wane, are | even more interesting to a newspaper epicure down here in the fitful light of the crypt than the collection of similar ‘curios at the National Mueeum. But if there is such a thing as philos- ophy in newspapers, especially if they are de- voted to news on only one subject, then the in- complete volumes of the old National Anti- Slavery Standard is the most unique of the lot. The paper was founded in July, 1840, and its sole aim was indicated by the title on the first | page, wherein it differed from sundry temper- ance and other publications of balf # century later. The shect was virulent and oftentim vicious, but it is valuable now, because phase of the slave question, from the earliest squabble to the end of the rebellion, is por- trayed with numerous incidents on the yellow, age-stained pages. When slavery was extinct the editor found his occupation gone and shut up shop April 30, 1870. Some of the volumes are still lacking, but the Congressional Library has brought its trading idea into play with the Worcester (Mass.) City Library, and in a short time, Capt. Van Nees thinks, his stock of attrac- tions will be complete. Meanwhile, the numberless scientific = phlets, publications of the Smithsonian Eat. tution and bureau of statistics, and the second copies of works sent to the library for ¢opy- right, are crowding another corner of theerypt. To keep these arranged in volumes is a hercu- lean tatk, compared to which the arrangement of newspaper issues is bagatelle. If they.can ever be catalogued, and taken to some section where light is a better known quantity, book- worms will have a very fair-sized second library to delve in to their hearts’ content. DOWN IXTO THE DUNGEON. A crypt without some secret passageway wouldn't be half acrypt, and so Capt. Van Ness, as a particular favor, sometimes conducts his visitor down still another flight of stairs to the “dungeons” beneath. The dark rooms aren't really that, but they are gloomy. enough to answer the purpose of storing away curious and historical maps, and, in a manner, some of the quaintest old documents, locally, that the Congressional Library contains. Dozens of copyrighted maps have been piled about down there until it would be next to im- possible to ever get them out again if it should be necessary. ‘There is one particularly primi- tive piece of topographical handiwork, and that a map of Roxbury, N. Y., drawn by 4 mémber of Washington's staff during the revolution. An old Washington city directory of 1827—the first, by the way, ever dasued at the capital— contains the city tax list, besides showing where everybody lived. John Quincy Adams was ident then, and the directoty sets forth that he paid tazes on s number of dogs partic- larly, although not on slaves, as was the custom at the time. aro ONE ENGINEER'S EXPERIENCES. We Has Killed Twenty-Two Persons, but is Reganied as a Safe Man, From the Chicago Datly Inter-Ocean. “Lafayette Traman, engineer of the Erie train that ran into the Eastern Illinois train Fri- day night, has killed twenty-two men,” said C. ‘R, McCullough, a brother engineer of the Chi- cago and Erie road, at the Clifton last night. “But,” he continued, “in no case was he té blame, and in every case he has been exoner- ated by the jury. Most of these killings were at railroad croasings and in other similar acci- dents where the engineer could not be held re- sponsible. He is only » young man, but I want to relate two experiencer of his which show him to be possessed of = marvelous presence of mind. “In October, 1890, he was engineer of a train that was dashing through burning forests near Lima, O., at the rate of sixty miles an hour. ‘That night the sky was concealed by black storm clouds, and before the burning district was reached the darkness from the windows of the cars seemed impenetrable. Then, as the train proceeded, the horizon became hazily red. a the train sped on neareg, the blood-red clouds appeared to be tumbling about tu- multuously, as if it were a sea of fire buffeted by angry winds, At length the train seemingly plunged into the heart of this forest of fire. “There wasa straight stretch of track con- tinuing for seven milea. As the train dashed along the fire sprang up in sheets from crack- ling, falling trees on either side and above was ‘8 canopy of shifting, eddying,red smoke. Down the track, beyond the reach of the headlight. there was only a red blur. A bridge, spanning 8 deep river, was ahead somewhere. Suddenly, immediately in front, Truman saw a shower of big sparks fly upward. In an instant he was g bis engine and the train was brought to a standstill just on th of the river. It had flashed over him when he saw the sparks that the bridge was burning and that «spar had fallen, sending up as it went down a show of light. Hesaved the train and the lives of REMINGTON.
